Books & Literature
Here are some great Resources (books, etc.) that I have found to be very helpful. I will continue to post other helpful resources on an on going basis. The book topics will be topics from Women's battles with sexual addictions as well as books for women that have husbands that have a problem with sexual addiction. I don't want to limit the types of books that are added to the site in hope that there will be something for everyone.

 

Every Woman's Battle
Author: Shannon Ethridge

When does an affair begin? Not with the first forbidden touch...but with the first forbidden thought. Unexpectedly, you find yourself enjoying a powerful emotional bond with another man. You feel like you matter to someone again. And the door you thought was locked so firmly--the door to sexual infidelity --suddenly ajar.

The only way you as a woman can survive the intense struggle for sexual intergrity is by guarding not just your body, but your mind and heart as well. Every woman's battle can help you learn to do that.

Using real-life stories and examples from her own struggle, Shannon Etheridge helps women like you-whether married, engaged, or planning to marry someday--to:

  • Understand the four unique components of female sexuality.
  • Discern the common myths that keep women standing in the line of fire.
  • Design a new defense to protect every aspect of your life.
  • Cultivate an unimaginable level of intimacy with your husband or husband-to-be.
  • Develop an affair with the one and only Lover who will truly satisfy your innermost desires: Jesus Christ


Living Whith Your Husband's SECRET WARS
Author: Marsha Means

When you discover your husband is involved in sexual sin----whether it's lust, pornography, infidelity, or some other behavior--pain whips through you like a tornado. You wonder:

  • Will I survive this betrayal?
  • Will my marriage survive--and do I even want it to?
  • Where is God in all of this?


Lies Women Believe and the Truth that Sets them Free
Author: Nancy Leigh DeMoss

Author Nancy Leigh DeMoss suggests that the lies Christian women believe are at the root of most of their struggles. "Many women live under a cloud of personal guilt and condemnation," says DeMoss. "Many are in bondage to their past. Others are gripped by fear of rejection and a longing for approval. Still others are emotional prisoners."

In her book, Lies Women Believe, the author exposes those areas of deception most commonly believed by Christian women - lies about God, sin, priorities, marriage and family, emotions and more. She then shedes light on how we can be delivered from bondage and set free to walk in God's grace, forgiveness, and abundant life.

Nancy Leigh DeMoss offers the most effective weapon to counter and overcome Satan's deceptions-God's truth!


Bad Girls of the Bible and what we can learn from them
Author: Liz Curtis Higgs

In Bad Girls of the Bible, Liz offers a clear- sighted, life-changing approach to understanding those "other women" in Scripture - Delilah, Jezebel, Rahab, Lot's wife, and others. She combines a contemporary fictional retelling of their stories with a solid, verse-by-verse study of their lives and the lessons we can learn from them.

Whether they were Bad to the Bone, Bad for a Moment, or Bad for a Season, but Not Forever, these infamous sisters show us how not to handle the challenges of life. With trademark humor and heartfelt encouragement, Liz teaches us how to avoid their tragic mistakes and joyfully embrace God's grace. Liz Says,

"For ten years I studied bunches of biblical role models and finally realized what we had in common: Zip

"Sarah was so faithful. Esther was so courageous. Mary was so innocent. I was so none-of-the-above. Girls, it was downright discouraging.

"Then I found Jezebel and something inside me clicked. I identified with her pushy personality, I understood her need for control, I empathized with her angry outbursts, and I began to wonder...

"Could those Bad Girls from the past teach us how to be Good Girls in the present? I'm here to tell you--Yes! "Grab a veil and dive in!"

This Book also has an optional workbook that you can buy separately.


Really Bad Girls of the Bible more lessons from less-than-perfect Women
Author: Liz Curtis Higgs

You mean there are more? Really?!?

You bet, sisters! Another bevy of brazen women fill the pages of Really Bad Girls of the Bible:

Bad and Proud of It: Athaliah, the deadly daughter of Jezebel Herodias, the horrible beheader...

Bad Moon Rising: Bathsheba, the bathing beauty, The bewitching Medium of Endor...

Bad for a Good Reason: Jael, the tent-peg toting warrior princess Tamar,the widow and none-too-timid temptress...

Bad, but not Condemned: The ashamed Adulteress, The desperate Bleeding Woman...

These were the tougher stories, the ones I chose for the first book,then put aside because they were, frankly, more challenging -- lives littered with gray areas and hard questions and moral dilemmas.But God said, "keep writing." Come September, I hope you'll "keep reading." Your letters and e-mails have encouraged me so much, sisters. This one's for you!

The Purpose Driven Life
Author: Rick Warren

The Purpose-Driven Life is a blueprint for Christian living in the 21st century- a lifestyle based on God's eternal purposes, not cultural values. Using over 1,200 scriptural quotes and references, it challenges the convetional definitions of worship, fellowship, discipleship, ministry, and evangelism. In the tradition of Oswald Chambers, Rick Warren offers distilled wisdom on the essence of what life is all about.

Self-help books often suggest that you try to discover the meaning and pupose of your life by looking within yourself, but Rick Warren says that is the wrong place to start. You must begin with God, your Creator, and his reasons for creating you. You were made by God and for God, and until you understand that, life will never make sense.

This Book also has an optional workbook that you can buy separately.
